This page is part of the offer-holders section for students who have been offered an undergraduate place at Christ's College.
Christ's 2022 entry offer holders with overseas fee status are invited to apply for a Christ's International Award. You will receive an email with the application form in late February. Please could you complete the form and then upload it via the upload tool by date to be confirmed in March following our instructions below.
About the Awards
For 2022 entry, Christ’s will be offering up to five international awards to outstanding incoming undergraduates from outside the UK. These awards may be held in conjunction with other scholarships, including those given by the Cambridge Trust, and consist of:
- An annual award of £10,000, for the duration of the undergraduate degree (3 or 4 years).
In some cases, depending on the financial need of the individual, the award will be accompanied by a full or partial waiver of the College Fee, currently £10,290 per annum, for the duration of the undergraduate degree.
The awards are not restricted by country or region; they are available to offer-holders resident in all countries outside the UK.
One of the awards is reserved for a woman who will be studying Computer Science, Engineering Mathematics or Natural Sciences (with a preference for Mathematics). There is no restriction by subject for the other four awards, and we aim to distribute them across the Arts and Sciences.
We hope to make at least two awards to students who have been assisted by the international social enterprise Project Access.
Award-holders will be invited to a celebratory ceremony during the first term at Cambridge.
